How are music and literature related?

Answer 1

Music and literature are related in that they both serve as forms of artistic expression that can evoke emotions, convey messages, and tell stories. Both mediums can inspire and influence each other, with musicians drawing inspiration from literature to create songs and writers using music as a source of inspiration for their writing. Additionally, both music and literature can be powerful tools for cultural preservation and social commentary.

Answer 2

The same stories have been told over, and over since the beginning of language, 5000+/- Gregorian years ago.

They have been acted out in history. Lived by individuals, and family groups. Experienced by communities.

Example: In American literature are stories of the old west; Good guys V bad guys; followed by Cops V robbers; Science Fiction (Star Trek episodes, same thing.)

Invasion stories run from: Alien invasion; Imperialistic invasion; Home invasion by termites; all the way to Virus invasion, in modern computers!

the backgrounds change, the stories remain the same. Time changes, stories don't!

According to KJV Scriptures, there have been no new stories since The Prophet Daniel [12:1--7.] (http://ebible.org/kjv/Daniel.htm).

Answer 3

Music and literature are linked in many ways. They both involve a great amount of creativity and imagination. Also, literature often has served as an inspiration for many composers such as Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev who have composed inspired by Romeo and Juliet. Mozart's Marriage of Figaro was inspired by a French play. Also worth noting, musical works such as operas and ballets require the writing of librettos and thus literary competence and imagination is an important part to a successful Opera or Ballet. Finally, music and literature are related through the importance that structure and emotional appeal have in both fields. Music needs to make an audience feel a certain emotion to have a desired effect as does literature. This is how music and literature are related.
